Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens Does the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom Nikkor Lens auto focus with the Nikon D40 because the Nikon AF Nikkor 70-300mm does not.

I have the Nikkor 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR Zoom lens and the Nikon D40 body and everything works very well together.

AF lenses will not autofocus (only manual focus) on D40/D40x/D60 since these cameras don't have a built in drive motor. AF-S however will work.

According to the Nikon press release for the camera, "a 30x optical zoom NIKKOR lens covering the wide-angle 22.5 mm to super-telephoto 675 mm range of focal lengths (equivalent in 35mm [135] format)." Slow to focus if you're trying to zoom in on something close, but phenomenal when there's a bit of distance between the camera and the subject.

I have used a 70-300mm EF and a 55-300mm AF lens with my D5100. Though the 70-300mm EF is a higher grade lens, I think that upon looking back at my results, the 55-300mm AF lens option gave me clearer images than the 70-300mm lens does. You will, however, be happy with either one. My 55-300mm lens was stolen last summer and I replaced it with a refurbished 70-300mm EF lens. If I were going to do it again, I'd probably get another 55-300mm lens. But on the other hand, the 70-300mm lens has a larger lens aperture and so it works better under lower light conditions than the 55-300mm AF lens. Life always seems to be about choices and trade-offs doesn't it. I hope this was helpful.

bought my nikon d40 lately. read good things about the camera through kenrockwell site. it helps me a lot to decide. now am thinking of buying the nikkor 18-200mm VR lense. btw the 50mm f1/4 lense and d40 they say is compatible. but am not so sure how to install the lense in the camera. any suggestions?

I am shooting on a Nikon 3200. I went with the 55-300 for its flexibility. It gives great depth of fields and allows me take great pics no matter what. Being in an austere environment this lens works great for long range and close range photograph. The longer 400mm lens has some problems and the 300mm gives better f-stop in my opinion. I found for cost and range of meters to be perfect. Clear shots, great DOF and quickness is great. I shot 90% free hand and have no vibration problems/blurry in my photos thanks to the VR.

Get the version with a built in focus motor unless you like manual focus all the time. This one's better: Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO Macro Motorized Telephoto Zoom Lens for Nikon SLR Cameras

Deepak, I am currently using this lens on a Nikon D300 with 12.3 megapixels. I own several Nikkor lenses, ranging from wide angle to 300mm. This 18-200 is the best of all. Since receiving it, I have not taken it off the D300. I use it exclusively. It is a great lens. The VR feature is also fantastic. Low light shots come out great. I would highly recommend this lens for high megapixel cameras. It works great on my D300. I think you will be very happy once you use it too.

It works fine with VR 55-200 and should work with any Nikon lens. I guess it should work better for 70-300 as compared to 55-200. I could not get good results with 18-55 lens though.

should work on a D50, I have it on a D70s, it is a VR lens at least mine is: AF-S DX Nikkor F/3.5-5.5 G ED VR it is sharp to the edges and easy to use. VR mode is excellent

All Nikkor AF-S DX lenses will fit the D50 Nikon. Nikon says 17-55 f 2.8 and 18-55 f 3.5-5.6 are specifically identified for D50 but I am sure that the Nikkor AF-S DX ED VR 16-85 will work very well. I found it to be a very sharp lens.

I have the 70-300 mm and attest that it has good optics and the build quality is excellent. Comparing e two lenses the first observation is they are equal in speed. The 70-300 mm lens will give you further reach than he EF-S lens especially when considering the multiplication factor that comes with EF lenses with a less than full frame sensor camera body. The 70-300 will work out to yield focal lengths of 120- 480 mm and correspondingly it will be of limited use close up where you would prefer a more standard length lens to shoot with but it can be a lense of choice at sporting events or photographing wildlife. Another consideration is your plans for the future. If you are thinking you may some day purchase a full frame sensor camera body then the only option would be the 70-300mm lens. Finally something to consider would be to Google reviews of each lens. There are some very detailed and exacting reviews available for camera bodies and lenses on-line. Hope these initial observations will be of assistance.

This will work with any Nikon lens. The thing you need to remember is that the magnification will be greater (closer) at 70 mm less at 300 mm. The best lens to use are 90 mm macro, 105 mm macro, 50 mm macro or standard all the way down to 24 mm. A 24 mm will give you the greatest magnification, but no matter which lens you use you will get close than that lens minimum focusing distance. Also remember you will not be able to focus to infinity. You will be restricted in your minimum and maximum working distances.

This is a full frame (FX) lens and your D300s is a DX body. using this lens with your camera will give you a 1.5 multiplying factor...17mm now becomes 25.5mm and 35mm becomes 52.5mm. Your cameras sensor is smaller than the ones in a full frame FX body but this lens will work with your camera. You are better off to get the Nikon 17-55mm 2.8 DX lens.....I have this lens to use on my DX bodies.

Generally, zoom's with a large range tend to be not so good at one end or the other.If you can afford it, go with the body only, and then buy 2 better lenses, such as an 18-50-ish wide-normal, and a 70-something telephoto.Don't forget third-party lenses such as Tamron or Sigma. Unfortunately, Nikon has their VR stabilization in the lens, so you pay more for them.

your AF 70-300 will not auto focus on the d60. look for lenses that have "AF-S". and while the 55-200mm VR is a good lense, your best bet would be to buy the AF-S 70-300 VR. its an incredible lense for the price. Also your older lenses will work on the D60, though you will have to focus manually.
